This perl module fail tests while emerge in most cases, but sometimes it pass them. When running tests manually it's nearly always pass them, and only once I've seen it fail manual tests too. List of failed tests also may differ. # emerge -1 File-ShareDir-Install ... >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase: dev-perl/File-ShareDir-Install-0.90.0 * Test::Harness Jobs=25 make -j25 test TEST_VERBOSE=0 PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/01_pod.t ........... skipped: these tests are for authors only t/02_pod_coverage.t .. skipped: these tests are for authors only t/00_compile.t ....... ok ===( 2;1 1/16 0/9 0/7 )=======================================rename MakeMaker.tmp => test-16561-Makefile: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 1188. ...

I believe this is fixed by workaround of forcing only single-threaded testing. commit a2a2bc93731d458c2413e7426809decaede0d342 Author: Kent Fredric <kentnl@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Aug 15 12:42:46 2016 +1200 dev-perl/File-ShareDir-Install: Disable parallel testing Upstream is still broken on this. Please reopen this bug if that is not the case.
